A PUBG leaker sends a ‘Detective’ home frightened. Is he a thug sent by the factory?

According to a statement by PlayerIGN, KRAFTON has sent a private informant to the account operator’s place of residence. PlayerIGN has received a document from this investigator detailing the order from KRAFTON. In writing, “Delete all leaked posts on social media,” “Detailed PlayerIGN earnings report,” and “Provide all direct messages (DMs) that served as a route to obtaining leak information.” It was said that the request was male.

However, PlayerIGN argues against the request by KRAFTON as follows. “My leaked information is not actively researched by insiders or game data. Instead, it’s always the other way around.” “Data mining is started on the surfaces by a test server. It is from the website that has been updated before, that is, it is just getting it from the HTML, just right-clicking on the image and saving it.” Because of this, he has no idea what action to take in response to KRAFTON’s request, and says he wants advice.

On the other hand, PlayerIGN not only provides leak information but also leak information through the monthly subscription service. The service appears to be providing new skin images for “PUBG” and new information for the new “Callisto Protocol” from KRAFTON Studios. Even if PlayerIGN’s argument above is correct, providing leak information and in-game images for commercial purposes should be a notable problem for the right holder, KRAFTON.

It’s also true that PlayerIGN has tweeted in the past, calling it a leak, and revealing information that has yet to be officially released. The KRAFTON side may request that these leaks be removed and not published in the future. Also, if these are really internal leaks, there may be an intention to identify the insider who is the source of the information.

At the time of writing this article, Player IGN’s account has stopped posting following the above statement. Regarding KRAFTON, there are no comments posted on this topic. It is not clear at this point if discussions are underway between the two.

The problem of information leakage associated with the title of the topic. On the development side, they want to announce new information in a timely manner to make it as objective as possible. Also, Player IGN’s attempt to monetize leaks using subscription services appears to have become an issue that KRAFTON cannot condone. Therefore, there is a possibility that further action will be taken for Player IGN, which appears to be unresponsive to a request from the KRAFTON side. I would like to pay attention to future trends.
